So, if the panel of Jewish Heroes judges anoints Ed as Jewish Community Hero of the Year he will become King of The Jews. Oops, I mean he’ll receive a grant of indeterminate size from the Jewish federations umbrella (which, as the ultimate Jewish establishment organization is not on the Slingshot list) to use for InterfaithFamily.com. Even if Ed doesn’t make it all the way to Hero of the Year, he still has a chance of becoming one of five honorees, making IFF eligible for a grant of smaller indeterminate size.

In any event, by placing in the Top 20, as Ed has graciously reminded me (and then reminded me again, and then again) in just a few get-out-the-vote messages, he is helping to raise the profile of interfaith family outreach in the Jewish federation world.

Kol hakavod (congratulations) to the other 19 nominees as well! Many of them sound amazing but, hey, this blog is supposed to highlight intermarriage-related issues — plus I haven’t noticed any of them blogging about me (just kidding, I’m not that corrupt).

These radical pro-intermarraige groups are bent on destroying Judaism. They deny the Torah and Halacha, they believe gentile women are superior to Jewish women. According to them gentile women can do a better job raising Jewish children then actual real Jewish women. We all know only Jewish women can give birth to and raise Jewish children. They promote phony "Rabbis" like Mr. Miller. These groups are basically anti-semitic. It's the same thing as honoring david duke or hamas. Disgusting!
